Thank you very much for joining us on World Book Day for the parade. It was very touching to have you back on the school site and being part of school life.  The costumes were amazing and the new 'catwalk' style, seemed to go down well. 

You'll see that we have an Open Book Afternoon and a Mother's Day event in the calendar; these have been a long time coming! Please join us if you can.

Next Friday we have a school disco - an event which is always a highlight of the calendar too. This will be outside this time, but more and more of our school events are starting to look closer to pre covid times. This is very exciting. 

Chair of Governor Updates

Good afternoon, 

Governors met on Monday February 28^th to agree to move forward with our journey on becoming an Academy and joining the Grand Union Partnership. We had a full discussion and raised a number of questions that were fully answered. As we get more details of the progress, we will share the information with you.

I have met with Mrs. Rice to catch up on various matters and on Wednesday 9th,  I joined the virtual assembly where we shared details of the upcoming Red Nose Day, the Colts 9-hour football marathon to raise money for Ukraine and the return of School Discos.

I am constantly amazed at the range of activities and fund-raising projects the school supports. I am particularly proud of the efforts made last week at short notice to donate items to be sent to Ukraine.  Well done to the school and the Community. 

Next week, Governors will be holding 2 committee meetings - Personnel and Curriculum, and I will be meeting with our SENCo to discuss various matters linked to this area.

Finally, Governors will arrange meetings with the different year groups in the next few weeks to ensure that they have an opportunity to develop their understanding of progress in a specific area of the curriculum. 

Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe. 

Mr. David Aaronson

We are very proud of Bobby Sheaf in Y4 for initiating a wonderful idea with the Colts football team to support the people of Ukraine. As a result of this, on Sunday 20th March, Deanshanger Colts under 9s will be completing a 9-hour relay around their home pitch raising money for the Disaster Emergency Committee - Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal. So far £750 has been donated to their JustGiving page!

An amazing idea and whole team effort. 

Our thoughts and prayers extend to everyone impacted
